      abstract = {The existing calculation methods for the number of  agricultural surplus labor have a common flaw, that is,  they can not reflect the impact of technical efficiency  changes in agricultural production on the surplus labor.  Based on the basic principle of stochastic frontier  production function, this paper calculates the agricultural  production technical efficiency of various provinces, and  selects the province with the highest technical efficiency  to assume that its agricultural labor is fully utilized,  and there is no agricultural surplus labor. With the ratio  of agricultural labor number to agricultural output value  in this province as a reference, this paper calculates the  number of agricultural surplus labor in other provinces.  This calculation method makes up for the shortcomings of  the existing calculation methods; it reflects the  relationship between the number of agricultural surplus  labor and production technical efficiency.},
